The Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium (RMBS) conference has been held annually since 1964. The conference location varies each year throughout the United States. The RMBS is the longest continually running regional biomedical engineering conference in the country. The 49th RMBS conference (2012) will be hosted by the Virginia Tech -Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences and held in Blacksburg, Virginia at the premier hotel, The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center. RMBS provides a great setting for researchers to share new and exciting biomedical engineering research. It is a venue for students in particular to present their research with a variety of awards for different research, students, and presentations.
RMBS focuses on several areas of research:
- bioinstrumentation
- biomaterials
- biomechanics
- biomedical signal processing
- cell and tissue engineering
- medical informatics
- biomedical modeling
All biomedical engineering abstracts are welcome and students are particularly encouraged to present their research work. There are oral presentations and poster sessions during the three-day conference. Accepted papers are published in the Conference Proceedings through the Instrument Society of America (ISA) and are indexed in Medline and accessible in PubMed through the Biomedical Sciences and Instrumentation publication. Cash awards are also given for the best student presentations and posters as well as a variety of other awards established for particular ideals and accomplishments.
ISA- (The Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society) fosters advancement in the theory, design, manufacture, and use of sensors, biomedical instruments, computers, and systems for measurement and control in a wide variety of applications. Founded in 1945 as a nonprofit, educational organization, ISA has expanded its technical and geographical reach to become a resource for 39,000 members and thousands of other professionals and practitioners in more than 110 countries around the world.
